TIE Texas Drought.

The great drought in Texas continues,
and now "extends from the far western
grazing lands across the State a distance
of 500 miles into the pine regions border
ing Louisiana, but decreases in severity as
it approaches the pineries, from which
section complaints are of recent date. -
In the worst part of the drought-aillcted
belt the 'roadways are covered to the
depth of several inches with dust, the
fields are barren even Of weeds, while
strings of cattle almost too poor to stand
up are travelling constantly in search of
grass and water"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has been
granted authority By Congress to sus-
pend the importation OF fish from
Canada to this country. The English
Cabinet has had . meeting upon this
subject and has decided to sustain the
position assumed by Canada. Now is
the time for the President to use the
powers conferred upon him, and it will
be . deep nationsl disappointment II he
does not do 80. Yet we hardly believe
he will do 1t.

THE HYMNS OF THE MARSHES.

In my sleep l WAS fain of their fellowship, fain
OF the live oak, the marsh, and the main.
The little green leaves would not let me alone in
my sleep;
Upbreathed from the marshes a message of range
and Of sweep,
interviewer with waftures of wild sea liberties,
drifting,
Came through the tapped leaves sitting, Sitting,
Came to the gates OF sleep.
And look where a passionate SILVER
Expectant is bending the blndes
or the marsh grass in serial shimmers and shades,
And Invisible wings fast heeting, fast fleeing,
Are beating
The dark overhead as my heart beats,-and steady
and free
Is the ebb tide flowing from marsh TO sea
run home, little streams,
With your lapfuls of stars and dreams)-
Sinuous southwark and sinuous northward the
"shimmering band
or the sand beach fastens the fringe of the marsh
10 the folds Of the land;
Inward aud outward TO northward and southwark
the beach lines linger and curl,
As "A silver wrought garment that clings To and
follows the firm sweet limbs of a girl.
Vanishing, swerving, eyermore curvIng again into
sight,
softly the sand beach wavers away TO a dim gray
looping Of light Sidney Lanier.

1t is perfectly well known to physi-
clans that excessive cigarette smoking
does do a great deal of harm, and that a
man may die from carrying the practice
to an excess. In the first place, people
who smoke cigarettes do more smoking
than those who use cigars and pipes. If
a man Is going to leave his Office to run
across the street for a minute, or is walk
ing to take a horse car, he will not light
a cigar; he knows it must be thrown
away Immediately, and a sense of econ
omy restraints him. But if he is in the
habit of rolling cigarettes, he may take a
Whit at any time, and is pretty sure to
be always doing it. The result is that
where a non smoker has the benefit of
some fresh air in the lungs whenever he
is out of doors, the cigarette smoker
takes in air charged with nicotine.
Smokers Of cigars and pipes do not, as
a rule, inhale smoke, but cigarette smok-
ers do. Why this should be, it is difficult
to say, but it is an acknowledged fact
that it is so. 1t is thus easy to see why
the results Of cigarette smoking should be
30 baneful. The air in reaching the
lungs and the blood goes through the
wihdpipe and the bronchial tubes. Be
tween the windpipe and the lungs the
w htSp ulNluLuB IiiO b"Os
This incessant subdivision reduces them
ultimately to great fneness. In the
lungs they are scarcely wider than a hair.
AT the end of each bronchial tube there
is what is called a pneumonia globule.
1t Is in this globule that the air and blood
meet; it is here that the blood becomes
''aerated, " or o~xygenized. In the case
of men who inhale the smoke of cigar
cites, these globules, instead Of receiving
fresh air, receive air charged with nico-
tine. In order to know the extent to
which the lungs receive the poisoned air
1t is only necessary to remember that the
area of these pneumonia globules is some
1900 square feet.
There is a popular notion that the
paper wrappings of cigarettes do the mis-
chief. The paper perhaps does burn the
mouth. The wrappers of some Turkish
cigarettes are i~mpregnated with opium,
and these, of course, do harm; but that
is not the fault of the cigarette. The
trouble with cigarettes is that people will
smoke cigarettes at times when they will
not smoke cigars, and that cigarette
smokers thus use more tobacco than
other people, and that cigarette smokers
inhale tobacco and take into the lungs
air charged with nicotine. New York
Times.

The expensive outdoor use of zinc by
builders at the present time has directed
attention tothe peculiar process of oxida-
ton which this metal undergoes, and
which is SO important to be considered in
all applications involving exposure. The
rusted surface does not rub off or blow
away, but forms a sort of hard crust or
enamel upon the surface of the metal,
and when laid upon boarding which is or
may become damp or exposed to steam
or condensation below, it trusts on both
sides. The thin zines first introduced in
this way were rusted through, brittleness
ensuing, and failure being the result.
But if the zinc be of sufficient thickness,
after a certain time oxidation ceases, and
the result is a body OF solid, sound metal,
incased above and below by a solid coat
ing, thoroughly impermeable to the acct
dents of weather or temperature, and
which requires no painting. The various
ways of spreading zinc consist mainly in
laying it in a corrugated form without
boarding, the trusses Of iron or wood Of
the roof carrying the weight, or in raf-
tiers about n foot, more or less, apart,
with a C~orrugation at each rafter only, or
upon a general surface of boarding, in
the manner of a lead flat.-Boston
Budget.

THE BABY SHOW.

To a very great many people the most
interesting feature Of the fair yesterday
was the baby show in Art hall. Last year
the affair was comparatively tame as there
were but two entries. This year there
were nineteen, a dozen of whom were fe-
male children and seven male. The con-
ditions were simply that the children be
under Is months old. $l5 to be awarded
TO the choicest i~niantile article
of either sex. The judges selected were
the Rev. DR.. Rafter, DR.. J. Y. Cowhick
and |. Greentree, gentlemen peculiarly
adapted to discharge the grave duties i'm
posed upon them. Happy mothers were
there by the score, but others who had
not yet reached the matronly stage mani
tested quite as keen if a somewhat more
coy interest in the proceedings. The
happy mother was almost invari-
ably attended by the happy
father of the bouncing baby boy
who was keenly alive to all the fine points
manifested by the infant and readily be-
came pugnacious when any body seemed
disposed to disagree with his Judgment.
Each baby had in addition a train of
female admirers, all of whom were con
vinced that hat particular child was the
cunningest pootsy tootsy" that ever
sprawled along a floor or found relief in
pouring moist woe down its papa's shirt
front, as Bill Nye has happily remarked.
Thus backed the show was naturally
an intensly partisan affair. Fond
mothers Rugged their own babies and
dilated with eloquence on their daintiness
or plumpness, their exquisite color, the
rounded contour of their limbs-but great
guns with what supreme disdain they
shifted at the alleged PROJECTIONS of all
other babies. The judges had a decided
ly delicate task before them. In the coo.
ing line of infantile beauty it was very diff
icult to set up any hard and fast standard
by which approximate perfection might
be guaged. They were all interesting
and what they lacked in one direction
was pretty sure to be made up in another.
After long deliberation the judges de-
cided to award the prize for the hand
soonest boy baby to Mr.. and Mrs. 7. f.
Dolan's child, and for the handsomest
girl baby to Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Murray's
child.
The exhibition very clearly demon
strated that C~heyenne's i~niautile vintage
of 81 is a very choice article.

Along with unconscious native ethical
healthfulness comes such physical care as
we advanced people know nothing of.
Because the gypsy mother and father are
themselves perfect types Of good health
healthy children are born to them. Be-
cause every gypsy woman on earth is
loyal to her mate many children are born
to them. Because the instinct of father
hood, motherhood and partnerhood is in
violable with husband and wife gypsies
love this to be 30, and the care and affec-
ton for gypsy children are remarkable.
From the moment the babe is born until
1t is upon its own legs for good it is con.
stantly rubbed and stretched and kneaded,
that every muscle may lave proper ac-
ton and development. The same noble
practice exists among the Pennsylvania
Dutch. 1t began with the latter behind
the Swiss mountains centuries ago, and

The Buffalo Sentinel, which has just
entered upon the third volume of its
prosperous career, is vigorously opposed
to a division of johnson county. This
subject has been under. discussion for
some time past, the object being to divide
the county on a line running East and
West at Massacre hill, thus making
Sheridan the county seat of the new
county. johnson %county's present debt
is upwards of 500, 900 and until a railroad,
which is looked upon as the best develop
ing agency, reaches there, the Sentinel
does not believe any division is advisable.
